Throughout my best friends pregnancy we've had numerous fall outs, both to blame, hormones heightened but we got over it and still remained best friends. When her baby was born everything seemed to go back to normal and I really have enjoyed being there for her throughout everything.
She told me she was pregnant at 4 weeks and it was then she told me she'd like me to be godmother, I was so chuffed. We discussed it lots and I knew she wanted a September christening and repeatedly said "remember, I'm away from the 20th-27th." The thought of not being there for the special day and unable to be the godmother and replaced by somebody else was heart breaking for me, there was no way she'd do that.
Well today she told me unfortunately there is no other date available than the 22nd. They move house in October, so it has to be then. To say I was devastated would be an understatement, I spent the most part of the day in tears to my mum and other friend, how could she do this? Adding salt to the wound she told me I couldn't be godmother anymore as it has to be a really good reason for none attendance. I replied with "I'm devastated, it meant so much to me" only to get a response of "don't be p**d off theres nothing I can do" and "why are you being off with me, this isnt fair." I was just so upset and still am now.
For me, my chosen godparent would be at the christening no matter what, it feels wrong to me that shes done this to me and I would love to know your guys opinions? Am I over reacting? Should I just get over this? How would you guys feel in my position? I thought I was special enough to be at that christening no matter what and the one week I'm on holiday, she books it? I'm heartbroken and lost for how to move forward with this.
